The Twenty-Four Hour Man was done in conjunction with a large tufted wall piece, called “Talk, Talk.” Both works feature anthropomorphized figures in various states of talking or not talking to each other, a miscommunication .Laying out the rift between an event and the intent, and playing in the space between reality and the imagined, is a realm I usually work within.This piece continues my exploration of opposing materials, coaxing seemingly incompatible substances into conversation with one another. This print combines textile with pulp, not usually a good combination. Working with pulp
requires an abandonment of expectation. At a certain point in the process, the material takes over, and conscious control gives way to chance and intuition. This surrender is what continually draws me back to the medium.The inherent challenges of the process create a sense of freedom and invite exploration. Through this play, I find a direct path to imagination and intuition, qualities that are central to my artistic practice. Pulp painting and embedded materials, turns a two dimensional medium into a three- dimensional object, bringing a thought or feeling into the physical world. Experiencing a feeling in pulp, textile and beads makes the memory feel more tangible and tactile almost as giving body to an emotion, creating a visceral reaction.
